@powder Assange picked and choose the info to release based on his political views, just as the examples you cited (although it was another entity, the government itself, the news organizations were getting a majority of thier info from, and other news organizations did in fact question the validity). It also appeared he encouraged and even help people break the law by breaking into data they had no clearance for. That's not being a clearing house for data, that's actually espionage.

@Petter the power to weight ratio of engines back then was fairly terrible so development could easily have taken more than 3 years, plus there's the whole issue of prop design to get the power in a usable form. He could have done it, but didn't. That's why he's a footnote in history. An interesting one.

@gearl your still sticking with 160, though. 6 foot and 160 would be a rail of a man, *especially* for a cop. Everyone's numbers are off, including yours. If you use average height you need to use average weight, too: *The average American man 20 years old and up weighs 197.9 pounds . The average waist circumference is 40.2 inches, and the average height is just over 5 feet 9 inches (about 69.1 inches) tall. As time wears on, American men are increasing in both stature and weight.Feb 27, 2019* Looks like twice her size would have been more accurate. That doesn't make me feel any better about this.

@chazwin the U.S. was supposed to be a land of religious freedom so we've attracted a much wider religious diversity (arguably leading to a more diverse culture, which is all religion really is, and also from the whole world, not just Britton), and also I think, a much stronger "bent" towards being religious to begin with. So yes, I think our population was/is self selecting to be a bit more religious in general. So, basically, you guys exported your nut jobs to us. Thanks a ton, and you're welcome, btw. :)

Just to reiterate the general concencious, no. And just because you seem so ultra sensitive, this post is A-thought, IMHO. :) You really should have attached a poll to this, btw.

@lerlo see? A poll would have let me see the results without having a need for us to interact. Win win, I'd say. Oh, wait, that number wasn't here. A vast sea of 15 people expressed thier opinion on the subject somewhere else. Did you bother to include the responses here in your tally above? Seems it would shift away from your favor if you did that. That, also, is a telling figure.

There have been studies that show a predisposition to believe in "something" (which makes sense evolutionarily due to religions grip on society for so long) so seeing people replace a religion with another belief isn't so surprising.

Maybe we all need to take a look at ourselves.

To me it's just men blaming women for not liking them enough to fuck them. So instead of taking a look at themselves and trying to change or even try to be appealing so women will fuck them, they want women to change so they'll fuck them. It's male privilege is all.

If it's legalized then the sensible thing to do is wipe their records clean of pot charges and they are no longer criminals.

@Castlepaloma well, good for you, I guess. Maybe we'll all be farting rainbows someday. Allowing greed to run rampant is never good, but greed motivates people to do things they normally wouldn't. Everything needs a check on it - including capitalism.

Atheism is an eager presumption.

1of5 replies on May 10, 2019:

@hankster deists believe in a creator that set everything in motion then doesn't interfere, or even care about what happens, or one who watches to see what happens. Its a branch of theism that rejects the trappings of organized religion and tend to live like an atheist would. Its your basic "some god did it and theres nothing we can do about it" outlook. It does, however, include a supernatural component, as do all religions. Atheists reject supernatural explanations. There's nothing presumptuous in rejecting the supernatural, but there is something presumptuous in claiming a supernatural explanation for that which is currently inexplicable.

@Castlepaloma capitalism encompasses more than just you. That's the problem, and you being a part of that and now rejecting it only shows the system sucks. Nothing wrong in making money, and greed can be a terrific motivator.

@Fred_Snerd in my 56 I think I have also. Also, like you, I spent years with an ex that worked to destroy me. IT FUCKS YOU UP. I spent 5 years afterwards figuring things out for myself and at one point thought excatelly as you currently are. After a particularly long and deep valley a stable plateau of consistent feelings/emotions/happiness sounds ideal. It isn't. It's stagnation, and it's really, really bad for you as a way of life. As a temporary shelter it's fine, and sometimes necessary. Like I said, I hope beneficial random events help you to discover lifelong happiness.

@Castlepaloma the history of weed being illegal is steeped in rascism and profits, mostly rascism for profit (monetary and power accumulation). No "pure" system will ever work. Pure capitalism inevitably creates corporatism.
